Rajiv Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 We knew this game was a goner, but the marvelous RP won us this game. Outta all the WC games, this is my fav, 2nd is the AUS one..3rd the yuvs 6's and last but not least pak games http://20with20.blogspot.com/2007/09/india-vs-south-africa.html In English conditions, imagine that
Don Sharma Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 That was a great game. It was super choking (on par with MI) by the Saffies:P. That was the only game that they lost and were outta the WC. Great performance by RP and Co.
Lord Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 great memories.first Rohit Sharma's innings,his partnership with MSD.n then RP swinging it all over the place n that great catch by karthik
amits Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 and rohit sharma despite not doing anything after that(apart from that 70 something in cb final) is still in the team after 2 years due to quota-system
zubinpepsi Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks Rajiv.. wat a game... Rohit's knock and some of Uthappas hits, awesome catch by karthik n Rp Swing.... fantastic match..
zubinpepsi Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Bumble and Nasser hussain commentary makes it all the more exicting.. and Dhoni has plasters all over his hands...:omg:
Cricketics Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 holy shoot.. just the other day my friend Sushain asked me about if RP should play over Ishant and Zaheer in 2020, and told about how well he bowled against saf in this particular game.. I described him how everyone after Pollocks wicket fall, had realized that India are here to stay in the tournament and would win the next game too.. that wicket of pollock, to me summed up..
flamy Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Yep, good game. However the semi-final is the BEST for me.
Guest gaurav_indian Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 and rohit sharma despite not doing anything after that(apart from that 70 something in cb final) is still in the team after 2 years due to quota-system I guess there is a quota system at ICF also.And thats why you are here.:orderorder:
Dravid Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 in that game, karthik of all, took an amazing catch in slips, i think it was smith.. and that bowled of pollock by RP.. memories of that prior dismissal... what a fun time that was
Guest Hiten. Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I think the semi final was better because we were under pressure to not only beat Aussies (because they are Aussies) BUT because Pakistan had made it to the finals. How can we not make it to the finals if Pakistan did, right ? Moreover, the start OZ's got from Gilly and Haydos was amazing + Haydos/Symo partnership.....UV WAS PUMPEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD after he caught Hussey, SLater's commentary was even better when UV caught hussey
Sachinism Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 That ball to Pollock was brilliant, Shaun look bemused

zubinpepsi Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Bumble's commentary was awesome..fits tht occasion well. cant wait to hear him in the T20WC
flamy Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Bumble was aammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasingh in the semi-final. "They wouldn't be bullied..." "They were too strong for Australia." "So strong!"
Kohum Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 For me the wickets that RP took, were all superb deliveries and the KKD catch was great. Dhoni taped all his fingers, why?
flamy Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 For me the wickets that RP took, were all superb deliveries and the KKD catch was great. Dhoni taped all his fingers, why? cuz he was mentally disintegrated by warne the legend :dontknow:
gaurav92 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 THAT RUN OUT OF KEMP BY YOUNG AND ENERGETIC ROHIT SHARMA......WOWWW SIMPLY AMAZING HE WON US THAT GAME ALONG WITH RP SO FOR THAT GAME ROHIT :adore: RP :adore:
